England supports the Ameer.

CALCUTTA, August 1.-Advices from
Candahar state that the Amer of
Afghanistan has issued proclamation
informing his subjects that the British
government is holding six infantry
divisions, each consisting of nine regi-
ments, with cavalry and artillery, in
readiness to march into Afghanistan to
suppress the revolt of the Ameer's
enemies in the interior. The prociama-
ton says: 1 can suppress the Ghilzais
without them. but they remain ready in
case Russia takes advantage OF the re-
bellion to invade the country. The
Ameer invites the rebels to return to
their homes, and says he will only pun
ish the chiefs. He warns Great Britain
against permitting Ayoub Khan to ap-
proach thebfroniier. Opponents of the
Ameer explain that in issuing the pro-
clamation he is playing, his last trump
card, as he finds that the people value
his alliance with England more than
the Amer himself Ici M

WaVe-Other Notes.
Another Foolish Strike.

PIrTsBURG, August Ito day inaug-
urated what from the present outlook
will be the most serious misunderstood
ing that has arisen for years between
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers and the manufac-
turers. Already number of mills in
Mahoning Valley have been closed and
nearly 5000 iron workers are out OF
employment, while the indications are
that before many days there will be still
more idle mills. The cause is the
attempt on the part of the Amalga-
mated Association to enforce an old law
IN their constitution which pro-
vides that no man shall hold
two jobs at mill. At the
recent convention of iron workers,
an amendment stigmatlzing the
holder of two jobs as "black
to enforce the law after August LIST.
Members of the association who were
notified OF the action taken, as a rule
gave up their extra jobs, but the treu-
BILE arose over nOn-members who re
fused at the mills of Painter & Sons, in
this city, Brown, Bonnell g. Co.,
Mahoning Valley Iron Co., and Cart
wright, McCurdy & Co., of Youngs-
town. The mill owners refused to dis
charge these men, and the mills were
closed this morning. The same trouble
is expected at the Solar Iron Works,
this city, and at the iron works at Ak
ron, Ohio, and Girard, Pennsylvania. |
The manufacturers refuse to recognize |
the law on the ground that it was not |
included ID the agreement of the scale |
of wages they signed. Both sides are |
determined TO maintain the stand taken. |
and unless an amicable settlement is |
reached soon several thousand more |
mill workers will be out of employment.
